It went on: "Mobile Server is a new category of notebooks designed with a professional user in mind. Software and/or database developers, training centers, military personnel, emergency relief organizations and service organizations who must frequently travel, yet need access to powerful computing, are the core target for Mobile Servers."

Users like these will appreciate the Phantom-X's Gigabit Ethernet port - a second one can be added using the machine's ExpressCard slot - and 802.11n Wi-Fi, but we don't see them making much use of the integrated Blu-ray Disc rewriter.

Eurocom didn't say how much its mobile server will cost would-be on-the-go sys admins, but you're looking at the best part of £3000 ($5862/€3775) if its Phantom-X Workstation online configuration tool is anything to go by.
